Battlestar Galactica Live Blog for 3/6/09
- 8:28 PM pcnerd37 - Hey Everybody! The BSG live blog will begin in about 30 min.
- 8:29 PM pcnerd37 - Before I get any comments, I have been sick all week (still am) and haven't felt like trying the other live blogging service to compare it to this one. Hopefully I will feel better next week to give it a real test and hopefully use it here next week.
- 8:37 PM pcnerd37 - I hope so too.
- 8:37 PM pcnerd37 - It looks like a good show from the preview last week.
- 8:38 PM pcnerd37 - Thanks Will.
- 8:39 PM pcnerd37 - It shouldn't be an issue, but I have been sick all week, so if I disappear for a moment, mainly during commercials, it is because I am not feeling well but I don't expect that to happen.
- 8:39 PM pcnerd37 - 20 minutes to start time!
- 8:39 PM pcnerd37 - I don't really have any BSG related news other than the fact that next week is the first hour of the 3 hour series finale.
- 8:40 PM pcnerd37 - If you have any BSG related news or articles, feel free to post them in the comments.
- 8:41 PM pcnerd37 - Don't forget, if you happen to be in the Denver area April 17-19, be sure to check out Starfest. Katee Sackhoff will be making an appearance on the 18th.
- 8:44 PM pcnerd37 - I will be there as well. If you happen to be there, let me know and we can all meet up!
- 8:44 PM pcnerd37 - 15 minutes to showtime!
- 8:54 PM pcnerd37 - There is tonight's episode, then next week is the first hour of the 3 hour season finale. The following week is the final 2 hours of the series finale plus a rerun of the first hour.
- 8:55 PM pcnerd37 - 5 minutes!
- 8:56 PM pcnerd37 - Make some popcorn, grab a drink and make that final run to the bathroom because its almost time to start!
- 9:00 PM pcnerd37 - Here we go!
- 9:00 PM pcnerd37 - A recap from last week mainly revolving around Kara Thrace.
- 9:01 PM pcnerd37 - Here we go.
- 9:01 PM pcnerd37 - We see Hera playing with some of the cylon and human models in an empty CIC and then running in the opera house.
- 9:02 PM pcnerd37 - Now we see a human and a six arguing about the ship repairs as the ship continues to crack.
- 9:02 PM pcnerd37 - Ellen is talking to Lee, Kara, Adama and the cylons.
- 9:03 PM pcnerd37 - Apparently she wants them to jump after Hera as the last hope for the cylons and maybe humans.
- 9:03 PM pcnerd37 - Kara is telling everybody about the music that Hera wrote.
- 9:04 PM pcnerd37 - She says its destiny but Adama is sick of destiny.
- 9:04 PM pcnerd37 - He seems to be sick of everything.
- 9:04 PM pcnerd37 - Tigh is arguing for a recon bird to check it out.
- 9:04 PM pcnerd37 - Adama gives the go ahead to take a heavy raider as long as Athena and Helo dont find out about it.
- 9:05 PM pcnerd37 - We now see Helo and Athena apparently having a fight. He wants her to say that she hates him.
- 9:05 PM pcnerd37 - Now we see Hera running through the opera house again.
- 9:05 PM pcnerd37 - The same scene as in the past with the Six, Baltar and the president.
- 9:06 PM pcnerd37 - Apparently it was Roslin having the dream about it.
- 9:06 PM pcnerd37 - We continue to see Galactica rip apart. A hull rupture has many holding on for their life.
- 9:07 PM pcnerd37 - The section was sealed off but not before at least one of the Athena look alikes gets shot out into space
- 9:08 PM pcnerd37 - theme and commercial.
- 9:09 PM pcnerd37 - Feel free to leave comments and questions in the comments down below throughout the show. I will try to answer questions as best I can.
- 9:11 PM pcnerd37 - And we are back.
- 9:11 PM pcnerd37 - Medical staff seems to be doing all they can.
- 9:11 PM pcnerd37 - 61 dead or injured so far.
- 9:12 PM pcnerd37 - Tigh and Adama are talking about the ship and moving command to the base ship which Adama refuses to do. Tigh will supervise repairs.
- 9:12 PM pcnerd37 - Adama is now at Roslin's side who continues to have visions of the opera house.
- 9:13 PM pcnerd37 - Lee is telling the quorum or whatever its called now that command is likely to be transfered to the base ship.
- 9:14 PM pcnerd37 - They don't like it at all. They don't want their safety to be taken care of by cylons.
- 9:14 PM pcnerd37 - Now they are all fighting about who gets what parts from Galactica.
- 9:14 PM pcnerd37 - Lee says nobody is getting any parts from Galactica until Adama says so.
- 9:14 PM pcnerd37 - They want to know what Baltar has to say about everything.
- 9:14 PM pcnerd37 - We now hear one of his broadcasts.
- 9:15 PM pcnerd37 - He is talking about angels.
- 9:15 PM pcnerd37 - He is chasing down a Caprica Six.
- 9:15 PM pcnerd37 - He offers her condolances for her loss.
- 9:15 PM pcnerd37 - He offers her a place to stay. She refuses.
- 9:16 PM pcnerd37 - She says that he hasn't really changed but she has.
- 9:16 PM pcnerd37 - We now see repairs happening outside of Galactica.
- 9:17 PM pcnerd37 - Now in the infirmary. The doc tells Tigh that one of the Athena copies wants to speak to him before she dies.
- 9:17 PM pcnerd37 - She is happy to have met her father before she dies.
- 9:17 PM pcnerd37 - She says he spent most of his life trying to kill her kind. She says "too much confusion" and then dies.
- 9:18 PM pcnerd37 - We now see Hera and Boomer. Hera is crying and Boomer is sick of it and is about to inject her with some kind of sedative to shut her up.
- 9:18 PM pcnerd37 - She appears to have stopped.
- 9:18 PM pcnerd37 - Commercial.
- 9:20 PM pcnerd37 - If you don't already follow me, take this commercial break to follow me on Twitter. I am pcnerd37 on there as well.
- 9:21 PM pcnerd37 - Assuming nothing unexpected pops up, I will be live blogging the BSG series finale which begins next week.
- 9:21 PM pcnerd37 - And we are back.
- 9:22 PM pcnerd37 - Tigh is looking for some alcohol who finds and empty bottle and breaks it against the wall as Ellen tries to talk to him.
- 9:22 PM pcnerd37 - He says that the BSG crew is the only family he has ever known and cares about.
- 9:23 PM pcnerd37 - She says that he was married to her 2000 years before he ever met Adama but he says that is just a number because he doesn't remember it.
- 9:23 PM pcnerd37 - She reminds him he is a cylon and that without Hera, there is no hope for the Cylons.
- 9:23 PM pcnerd37 - She tries to tell him that he is the father of all cylons.
- 9:24 PM pcnerd37 - Back with Boomer and Hera, she is trying to feed him what I assume are field rations.
- 9:24 PM pcnerd37 - She tells Hera what she does when she is sad. She tells him about the house that was for her and the Chief.
- 9:25 PM pcnerd37 - Hera can apparently project and is now in the house.
- 9:25 PM pcnerd37 - We now see Baltar shaving with Kara watching him.
- 9:25 PM pcnerd37 - She asks him if he believes the stuff he says about Angles that he was talking about on the wireless.
- 9:26 PM pcnerd37 - He says she sees them with regularity (the six in his mind).
- 9:26 PM pcnerd37 - Kara begins to tell him about being dead on Earth.
- 9:26 PM pcnerd37 - She is trying to find answers.
- 9:27 PM pcnerd37 - She wants him to find out what is going on as she hands him her dog tags from earth and leaves.
- 9:27 PM pcnerd37 - We now see some sort of vision of her going from Galactica to a cylon ship with a hybrid. The hybrid appears to be sam.
- 9:28 PM pcnerd37 - Apparently they are not in a cylon ship, its a Galactica room made to look like a cylon ship complete with the bath that the hybrid stays in.
- 9:28 PM pcnerd37 - She chases the Athena copy out of the room and starts talking to Sam. She really wants him back.
- 9:29 PM pcnerd37 - He still seems to be in a Coma.
- 9:30 PM pcnerd37 - She pulls out a pistol to shoot him because she wants to remember him for what he was when he suddenly wakes up, grabs her arm before she can shoot him and starts spouting off random gibberish like the typical hybrids.
- 9:30 PM pcnerd37 - He again repeats that she will lead them all to their doom.
- 9:30 PM pcnerd37 - Commercial.
- 9:31 PM pcnerd37 - We seem to be having a good showing so far on the live blog but nowhere near last weeks numbers.
- 9:32 PM pcnerd37 - How is everybody liking the show so far tonight?
- 9:33 PM pcnerd37 - It is very fast moving tonight. Its even more annoying when trying to live blog it.
- 9:33 PM pcnerd37 - We are back.
- 9:33 PM pcnerd37 - Adama seems to be reading a story to Roslin.
- 9:33 PM pcnerd37 - Some like a detective novel.
- 9:33 PM pcnerd37 - She tells him to turn to page 61
- 9:34 PM pcnerd37 - Some medicinal marijuana falls out and she lights up. She says that the doc won't mind but Adama pulls the curtain anyway.
- 9:35 PM pcnerd37 - She tells him what she is thinking about. Apparently she is thinking about a cabin she wanted to build in the mountains.
- 9:35 PM pcnerd37 - She continues to talk about her past and dreams.
- 9:36 PM pcnerd37 - She said that she has never really felt at home until the past couple of months with Adama.
- 9:36 PM pcnerd37 - She talks about his love for the ship.
- 9:37 PM pcnerd37 - We now see Baltar scraping some samples from the dog tags and looking at them under a microscope.
- 9:37 PM pcnerd37 - We now see Tight, Kara, a six and an Athena clone talking around Sam
- 9:38 PM pcnerd37 - Apparently he is apparently in control of the ship. Tigh doesn't like this so he has him taken offline.
- 9:39 PM pcnerd37 - Apparently the colony that they were trying to find to help them find Hera has been moved and Ellen doesnt know where to.
- 9:39 PM pcnerd37 - We briefly see Boomer and Hera in the house before we see Helo catch up with Adama walking through the halls.
- 9:40 PM pcnerd37 - Helo wants to go find Hera but Adama says a recon mission has already been sent.
- 9:40 PM pcnerd37 - He refuses to let him go and calls it a suicide mission.
- 9:40 PM pcnerd37 - He continues to plead with him to let him go.
- 9:41 PM pcnerd37 - Adama walks off.
- 9:41 PM pcnerd37 - We now see a funeral ceremony likely for those that died in the hull rupture.
- 9:42 PM pcnerd37 - The funeral ceremony ends.
- 9:42 PM pcnerd37 - Baltar speeks up. He says that death is not the end. He begins talking about eternal life that is for everybody.
- 9:43 PM pcnerd37 - He starts to say that Kara thrace is proof that there is life after death.
- 9:44 PM pcnerd37 - Adama tries to stop him but he keeps talking as Kara tries to walk off.
- 9:44 PM pcnerd37 - She then comes back and slaps him before walking off.
- 9:44 PM pcnerd37 - Adama dismisses everybody.
- 9:44 PM pcnerd37 - Commercial.
- 9:44 PM pcnerd37 - Lee doesnt seem to be going and continues to look at Baltar.
- 9:45 PM pcnerd37 - Im really liking tonight's episode so far. Im really wondering how they can rap everything up in a 3 hour finale, even with a movie coming to tie up loose ends.
- 9:47 PM pcnerd37 - So, is anybody that is reading this going to Starfest this year?
- 9:48 PM pcnerd37 - And we are back
- 9:48 PM pcnerd37 - We see Kara looking at the Memory Wall and is approached by Lee.
- 9:48 PM pcnerd37 - He says he doesn't care, he saw her viper explode. All that matters is that they are both there.
- 9:49 PM pcnerd37 - She smiles as he leaves.
- 9:49 PM pcnerd37 - She puts her picture on the memory wall
- 9:49 PM pcnerd37 - We now see some kind of freaky cylon ship like nothing ever seen before.
- 9:50 PM pcnerd37 - It looks like what you would imagine if the cylons were overtaken by the Borg.
- 9:50 PM pcnerd37 - We see Boomer and Hera land in it.
- 9:51 PM pcnerd37 - She hands Hera off to John. Apparently this was all part of a master plan.
- 9:51 PM pcnerd37 - We now see Adama walking through the halls of Galactica. He is taking off his admiral pips.
- 9:52 PM pcnerd37 - He holds them in his hand as he walks into something I am not sure what it is.
- 9:52 PM pcnerd37 - He begins painting and then throwing paint everywhere before falling to the floor and crying.
- 9:53 PM pcnerd37 - Kara is now talking to the offline Sam again.
- 9:53 PM pcnerd37 - She seems to have the music from Hera with her.
- 9:53 PM pcnerd37 - She wants to know why she is there. She says that she thinks there is a pattern in the music. She cant see it but she thinks he can. She plugs Sam back in.
- 9:54 PM pcnerd37 - We now see Adama trying to gather himself as Tigh walks in.
- 9:54 PM pcnerd37 - He tells Tigh that he is stopping all repairs on the ship.
- 9:54 PM pcnerd37 - He gives the order to start stripping Galactica and pack up weapons and gear.
- 9:55 PM pcnerd37 - Civilians will be gone tomorrow and everybody else by the end of the week. He gives the order to abandon ship.
- 9:55 PM pcnerd37 - Tigh won't let him do it.
- 9:55 PM pcnerd37 - He says that Tigh was the finest friend and officer her ever had and that they will send the ship off in style.
- 9:56 PM pcnerd37 - They are now sitting on the couch talking about the ship and how great it was.
- 9:56 PM pcnerd37 - They toast.
- 9:56 PM pcnerd37 - That is it. That is all for tonight. Scenes from next week, the first hour of the 3 hour finale is next!
- 9:57 PM pcnerd37 - The paint seemed just like white paint to me.
- 9:57 PM pcnerd37 - As far as the movie goes, a movie is coming.
- 9:58 PM pcnerd37 - It is supposedly to wrap up some loose ends with the characters.
- 10:00 PM pcnerd37 - Ok, I couldn't make much sense of next weeks episode except for the fact that something big is going to happen that will likely require a one way trip for Galactica.
- 10:00 PM pcnerd37 - We see Adama saying that nobody has to go along with it as it is likely a one way trip but otherwise I couldn't really get a feel for what was going on.
- 10:01 PM pcnerd37 - Anyway, unless there are any other questions or comments you guys have, I will go ahead and wrap this up for tonight.
- 10:01 PM pcnerd37 - Don't forget, I will be back doing the live blog again next week!
- 10:02 PM pcnerd37 - Also, if you can make it to Starfest in Denver in April, I highly recommend it as Katee Sackhoff will be there and it is always a blast. You can find more info at starland.com
- 10:04 PM pcnerd37 - Well, I guess that is it for tonight. Don't forget to come back for next week's live blog!
March 6th, 2009 - 19:35
Let’s hope for a great episode tonight!
March 6th, 2009 - 19:35
Sorry to hear you’ve been sick, and sorry to hear about your dog. I hope you find him.
March 6th, 2009 - 19:52
How many episodes left, and how long is each episode?
March 6th, 2009 - 20:07
Great opening. Action packed!
March 6th, 2009 - 20:21
I don’t know what that means.
March 6th, 2009 - 20:32
This episode is so fast-moving, people don’t have time to type!
March 6th, 2009 - 20:45
Funny she slapped him instead of punched. She’s getting less violent what with all the things she’s been through.
March 6th, 2009 - 20:45
great episode so far so finally kara’s truth is out what or how will this affect anything?
March 6th, 2009 - 20:48
dumb question, but stumbled across your liveblog tonight. really enjoyed it, but is it true they’re coming out w/ a movie on top of the three hour finale?
March 6th, 2009 - 20:49
That exchange reminiscent of early episodes.
March 6th, 2009 - 20:53
Is that the cylon ship healing paint?
March 6th, 2009 - 20:57
As much as Adama drank and smoked pot tonight, you’d think he was piloting the Exxon Valdez, not the Battlestar Galactica.
March 6th, 2009 - 20:58
Great job covering the episode tonight. Thanks.
March 6th, 2009 - 20:59
Thanks for the response. Looking forward to it! See you next week.
